    I own a shop, and can sum this up pretty easily. You got to get on the bottle (Nitrous) if you expect to compete with a vehicle that you out weigh, and is probably on the juice too. Almost all imports are on Nitrous, because without this stuff they just don't make any power unless they have a turbo. I keep hearing "you can't beat imports for power", but you can't find me one import that makes power without a turbo, and/or Nitrous Oxide. These little cars/trucks are fast, but take away the add on's, and they wouldn't out run a fast bicycle. Get a bottle on your vehicle, and you will show them the door every time! You won't find one of them that will run you motor to motor, because they are sick!

    Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

    There are a number of bolt on parts that will give you the power you need. One good source I've listed below. But usually a computer chip that will advance your timing and adjust you fuel to air ratio will do wonder's, even going to dual exhaust will help. This is also a good selling point later so you can recoup your money.

    Hope this helps.

    To take advantage of any modification you'll need a programmer. Their not cheap. The only real option you have without one is a dry 50 shot of NOS. If your going to sell hit it with a 75 shot. It can probably be took off and sold separately when you sell.
